Chapter 390: She Couldn’t Stand Such a Good Boy

…

In early autumn, the summer heat could still be felt, but in the mornings and nights, people could feel a trace of coolness.

It was different from the unbearable weather before. After the weather was comfortable, people became energetic.

Riya walked out of the courtyard and saw a figure waiting at the door.

Recently, Allen had become a guest of the Marley family. Although Riya hadn’t expressed her opinion, the Marley’s had treated him as their son-in-law.

Master Marley had said that everyone in this family should help Riya with her relationship.

When Allen invited her out, none of the Marley’s disagreed. They even wished that they could just give Riya to him.

“How about we go to the theater later? I know the ice creams outside the cinema are delicious.”

The man was really good at coaxing people, making her feel so happy.

Riya had a cold expression as she listened to Allen and nodded.

The man had a baby face. He looked delicate and well-behaved. His skin was white and tender. Riya couldn’t help but look at him.

What a good-looking face. She was never tired of looking at it. However, an interesting soul was hard to find.

As she looked at the young man, she felt so happy. It was only yesterday that Riya found out that he was three years younger than her.

It would be a perfect match for a male to marry a female three years older.

Marrying the only daughter of the Marley family, Allen would make a fortune out of it.

“Riya.”

As soon as Allen spoke, Riya exclaimed, “What did you call me?”

A hint of shyness flashed across the man’s face as he said in a low voice, “I think everyone calls you that. If you don’t like it, then…”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s just a name. You can call me the way you want.”

Riya had a nonchalant expression on her face, but a strange feeling was spreading in her heart.

Riya felt really excited to be called a nickname by a boy younger than her!

Although she didn’t like Allen, as her grandfather had said, it was good for her to get into a new relationship. At the very least, she wouldn’t think of the naked barbarian.

“Monster.”

Riya whispered angrily, and her words were all heard by Allen.

He was stunned and said in surprise, “Riya, what did you say?” Allen was not sure about what he had just heard.

“Oh, I said that we should go. The tickets at this time should not be easy to buy. Otherwise, there will be more people later.”

“It doesn’t matter. Tell me what you want to watch. I’ve already bought all of them.”

Allen smiled innocently, causing Riya to feel a little guilty.

He was young, innocent, and likable. Riya could not help but like him more.

“Riya.”

Allen made a gesture in front of his chest. Riya was stunned and did not react.

The man stepped forward with a smile. His entire figure, along with the smell of a stranger, was in front of her.

Although Riya did not hate him, she subconsciously avoided him.

“You have to buckle your safety belt.”

Allen very considerately buckled her seat belt. Riya smiled awkwardly, but she did not have the desire to tease him.

This young man was too good at flirting, and she felt uneasy about that.

They soon arrived at the largest cinema in Far City. She had been temporarily staying at the Far City because of the Master’s birthday.

Stefan had already gone to River City that day, so she felt relieved and dared to date the young man.

“Strawberries, vanilla, and the original flavor, which do you prefer?”

Looking at the ice creams in Allen’s hands, Riya was stunned for a moment and said, “Why did you buy so many of them?”

An uncomfortable blush flashed across Allen’s face. He smiled shyly, “I don’t know what favor you like, so I bought one each, but I’ll know next time.”

Allen was so considerate and lovely that there was no way that Riya didn’t like him.

Taking a vanilla flavored one, Riya was a little troubled, “We won’t be able to eat these two.”

Riya thought, “These would melt soon.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

As Allen spoke, he walked over to a family of three that had entered the cinema. He squatted down in front of a young girl and said, “Little girl, do you want to have ice cream? The sister over there wants to give it to you.”

Riya thought that girls at that age were supposed to call her aunt.

Riya took a bite of the ice cream and slowly turned around, secretly laughing.

“Alright, let’s go!”

When Allen came back, there was only one ice cream of the original flavor. Riya asked, “You still have one more.”

“I’ll eat this one. It’s so boring for you to eat alone. Sharing makes you happy. Ice cream is sweet and icy. It’s said that it can make people happy.”

Riya covered her chest.

Riya got happy and thought to herself, “What should I do? He’s so good at this.”

When choosing the movie, Riya did not find anything she liked. She had basically seen all the new ones that were on recently. She was just going through the motions.

She smiled perfunctorily, “I’m fine with anything you choose!”

Allen took a look and pointed at the cartoon on the top. “How about this?”

“Boonie Bears?”

Riya thought, “Isn’t this for children? Even the adults inside are mostly for the sake of accompanying their children.”

The two of them were not with any kids.

“Let’s go.”

Riya’s cold wrist was held by a warm palm. Before Riya could recover, she was dragged into the cinema.

In that dark theater, Riya only heard laughter from children during the whole movie.

They were sitting with the children, just like other people who came to watch movies.

Riya glanced at Allen, who was beside her. He watched the movie very seriously and did not take advantage of the darkness to do anything to her.

It was as if he were just here to watch a movie, and he laughed like a child from time to time.

Riya blinked. She felt that this kind of good feeling was somewhat unreal to her.

Riya did not regain her senses until she came out of the cinema.

Allen held the popcorn bucket in his hand and was excitedly telling her about the movie.

Allen had noticed Riya’s trance, and he was suddenly panicked and said, “Riya, don’t you like the movie? We…”

“It’s not that I don’t like it. I just think when I have a child, will this movie still be released?”

Riya didn’t know why she randomly made up such a reason, but after she finished speaking, Allen was very excited. He lowered his head with a smile, and his face blushed.

He stuttered in a lovely way, “Yes, I think. If this is what you want, I think you can take your kid here, perhaps, next year.”

Allen’s voice was not loud, as if these words were squeezed out from his throat.

He looked embarrassed, as if the popcorn bucket in his hand was about to burst because of his grip.

Riya froze in place. Somehow, she thought of the child she and Stefan had.

If she hadn’t had the abortion, she might be able to take the kid here next year!

…

After watching a movie, they went to the music restaurant, had a barbecue, went to the night market, and visited half of Far City.

Allen looked very well -behaved and shy, but he was very chatty. He could show shyness and a look of grievance perfectly.

For the first time, Riya went to such a lively place with a man, shuttling back and forth in the crowd. Although she was squeezed all over, she was still very happy.

She had some cheese, roasted squid, and the things that she had not eaten since she graduated from high school.

It was as if she had suddenly gone back to her high school period. Bruce, Stefan and she were famous.

It was not because they were close.

But because they had high status.

“What do you want to go next time? I know there is a newly opened aquarium in the city. Why don’t we go there next time?”

The car came to a stop at Marley’s villa. Allen was sensible and asked her to meet up next time.

Riya took off the hairband she had bought from the night market. The colorful lights on it made this cheap hairband with rabbit ears extremely beautiful.

This kind of little thing was not expensive but was indeed very liked by girls.

She was not young, but she still liked this kind of cute thing.

“Sure!”

“How about tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow?”

Riya thought for a moment and nodded. “Both would be okay. I’ll stay in Far City recently. You can just send me a message.”

“Then I’ll call you once I’ve bought the tickets.”

Allen smiled. There was a hint of shyness on his face. He looked like a pure boy. His aura seemed clean.

“I’ll go back first. Be careful on your way.”

Riya thought for a moment and still said the words to express her concern for a friend.

Allen nodded and returned to the car.

He wouldn’t pester her, but he would always do whatever she said.

He was so good, and she liked to stay with him. However, she didn’t think that was

what she wanted.

Although Allen was good, it was a pity that Riya didn’t have feelings for him!

Riya watched the car leave and sighed with a smile. She thought young men were playboys with passion.

It was fine to have a relationship with a playboy without getting married.

Under the tree at the gate, the branches were waving in the gentle wind and revealed a sullen man as well as the car that was hidden under the shadow not far away.

When Riya discovered that man, the smile on her face faded away. The first thing she thought of was rushing to her door.

The moment her finger was about to touch the doorbell, her wrist was held.

Before she could cry out in alarm, the man covered her mouth from behind and dragged her into the shadow of the tree.

The moment her back hit the tree trunk; Riya felt pain. She frowned and said, “What are you trying to do?”

The man approached, breathing on her face. He pinched her chin and forced her to look up at him.

The man hid in the darkness with a sullen face. His dark eyes were emitting a faint light.

Those eyes were like that of a wolf that caught its prey in the night. He stared at her as if he was about to kill her.

“Is this how you think about our relationship?”

She appeased him, and then she was with another man after he returned to River City.

Stefan tightened his grasp on her chin. Even without looking, Riya knew that there was definitely a red mark on her chin.

Riya frowned. She subconsciously tried to pull off the hand on her chin as she mumbled, “Stefan, what are you doing? I’m in pain.”

Stefan loosened his grasp, but he did not let go of her.

He still pressed her against the tree trunk, and he said in a low and cold voice, “What is the relationship between you and that man?”

He would not give up until he got the answer.

Riya could not see his face. She only felt that she was sinking in the dark, and she was overwhelmed.

Although she didn’t want to admit it, due to his’s power, she said reluctantly, “A blind date that my family introduced to me.”

Riya sensed that Stefan was getting angry. She hurriedly said, “You’re the only man in the world, and I am attractive. You are not the only man for me to get married to. I can consider other men, can’t I?”

“Get married? You plan to marry him?”

There were no ups and downs in his voice, and he was so calm.

Only Riya could feel that his breathing on her face was extremely cold.

If he had a rope in his hand now, he would probably be hanging her to death.

Riya whispered, “I didn’t say I would marry him immediately!”

“You want to marry him?”

Her chin was held again, and her head was suddenly raised. She looked up in pain.

If not for her head and neck sticking tightly together, her head would have been taken off by him right now.

“No. Can’t I think?”

“What do you think?”

Riya tugged at Stefan’s forearm, letting herself fall back to the ground. She muttered softly, “But I didn’t think about it!”

However, she had to deal with the Marley family and also had to explain to the Marley’s.

She wasn’t young anymore, and she didn’t see any blind dates. She didn’t care about it, but the Marley family didn’t want to.

Regardless of the reason, there were some processes that she had to go through.

The surrounding air was silent. Even the wind did not blow up the leaves. They only felt the wind blowing the trees. The air was fresh and comfortable.

Stefan seemed to calm down. Because of her low muttering, most of his anger dissipated.

“Give him a call now.”

After a long while, Stefan’s voice came from above.

Riya was slightly startled. She raised her head and looked at him in surprise.

She didn’t understand, so she couldn’t help but ask, “Why should I call him now?”

She didn’t know what Stefan was going to do.

“I want you to break up with him.”

It was simple and clear. Riya was nervous, and she said, “Is that okay?”

She used Allen to deal with the Marley’s. If he did appear, she couldn’t explain it.

It could be seen that her roommate at home was serious this time.

If she didn’t find a suitable partner, they would have to introduce her continuously.

Riya couldn’t help but shiver when she thought of how she would be running around on various blind dates in the future. She shook her head in horror.

She could deal with young men. If a few more big bad wolves come, she won’t be able to handle them.

“No, I can’t bear to part with him!”

Stefan sneered, but it seemed to be laughter that only came from extreme anger. In the late-night, Riya shuddered when she heard it.

The weather was hot in summer, right? Why did she feel that she was already cold!
